Thread: G-body aftermarket

Tweet

Anyone know of any companies or tricks to dropping a g-body 1-2 inches??? How extensive can this be. I have considered bagging it, but It seems to costly and The end results are nice but not necessary. Maybe just a 2 in drop around so it wont affect my drivability that much. I was thinking of those Air shock absorbers and running a line into my trunk. I have an onboard air compressor that is only 8x10 in' small enough to go in my glove box. Anyone have any opinion to these air shocks and whether they are a waste of money?

From the former owner of an 82 Cutlass, there are a few tricks to be had. The easiest way to lower one of these creatures is to get shorter coils for the front and remove a leaf in the rear. Keep in mind this will also reduce your load capacity. As for air shocks, they are pretty damn cool to have. I have a set in my Eagle, and they are great for leveling loads or working under the car. Im trying to find a pair for the front actually. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Later

Dropped spindles are the best way to go, but expensive. S10 stuff should fit your Cutlass, by the way. It all fits my '82 Camino.

R Pope is correct, the front suspension componets for a G-body are the same as the S-10, so drop spindles,springs, control arms or air springs will work just fine!
